Event description

Description

Working in silver and base metals, you will learn piercing, filing, soldering and be introduced to a range of techniques including doming, folding & scoring, casting, roller pressing, texturing and more. You will create pieces of jewellery and miniature sculptural forms using your ideas and the techniques learnt. Please note that this is not a purpose built jewellery workshop but a great supportive environment for exploration and experimentation with materials. The course is suitable for students of all abilities including beginners. Copper will be supplied, other base metals, silver and basic tools (i.e. piercing saw blades) can be purchased according to what you decide to make.

Anna Watson has been an artist, designer and maker for the past eighteen years, she achieved a First Class degree in 3D Design Materials Practice at the University of Brighton where she specialised in woodwork and metalwork. For the past six years she has worked in the jewellery industry for commercial designers as well as local artisan jewellers. Anna has her own jewellery business where she creates jewellery ranges and works to commission making light metal objects and jewellery. Her work has been exhibited at New Designers in London, Portal in South Wales and she has supplied her work wholesale to London Design Museum and at a selection of high end galleries in Scotland and the UK. Anna is continually developing designs and enjoys pushing the boundaries of jewellery and making. In addition to her own practice Anna loves teaching and is keen to inspire students not only make beautiful work but to enjoy the process of making. http://annawatsonjewellery.com

About Phoenix Brighton Arts Courses

Phoenix Brighton’s arts courses provide a unique mix of high quality workshops aimed at practicing and aspiring artists and art lovers at all levels. They are suitable for anyone (from beginners upwards unless otherwise stated) who wants to learn new skills from professional artists and would like to meet likeminded people in a supportive and creative environment. We normally provide all the basic materials unless stated in the course descriptions. You need to register in advance as some popular courses fill up very quickly.

All courses are aimed at adults (over 18) unless otherwise stated. Course fees are kept as low as possible to encourage everyone to participate in the arts, including those on low incomes but not eligible for benefits, such as many artists. Therefore we do not offer separate concessionary rates for members of the public. We are unable to offer discounted rates for other reasons, for instance if you are unable to attend all the sessions, unless the course has already started and has unfilled spaces.

We accept payment online by PayPal, credit or debit card (as a guest without starting a PayPal account) and offline via cheque (choose the 'show other payment options' under the 'PayPal Checkout' button for this option).
